http://www.vg247.com/2014/05/21/jet-car-stunts-trailer-details-and-release-date/#respondWed, 21 May 2014 07:21:07 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=473493Grip Games has released a new trailer and more details on the Playstation ports of its racer-slash-platformer, Jet Car Stunts.

As detailed on the Playstation Blog, the game will first be available on Playstation 3 and Vita in July, and on the Playstation 4 in August.

The PS3/Vita versions are identical, and with Cross-Buy, one purchase will allow you to play the game on both platforms. So that’s nice. And with Cross-Play, leaderboards and player ghost data will not be bound by platform, either.

The PS4 version will need to be bought separately, but owners of the others will receive a “big discount” when upgrading. This new-gen edition will be “significantly upgraded”, running at 60fps in full HD.

More details on what else is to be upgraded for the PS4 version, as well as how big a discount existing players can expect, are still to be announced, the blog post says.

There’s a swathe of new content, as detailed on PSNStores; online multiplayer in the demo; and most importantly, cross-buy between the PlayStation 3 and PS4 versions of the puzzler. Additionally, Spearhead Games has dropped the price from $20 to $10.

http://www.vg247.com/2013/12/17/zen-pinball-2-hits-ps4-this-week-import-your-ps3-and-vita-content/#respondTue, 17 Dec 2013 02:13:19 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=435321Zen Pinball 2 fans can import some of their existing DLC into the PlayStation 4 version of the sim when it arrives in this week’s PSN update.

Zen Studios managed to bring 19 tables from older versions to the PS4 port, which with the all-new Doctor Strange table makes for a total of 20 tables on launch day.

If you own any of these 19 tables on PS3 or Vita, you can import them for free – although this only applies to DLC for Zen Pinball 2, not spin-offs like Marvel Pinball. The cross-buy doesn’t work in reverse; DLC for the PS4 version won’t work with the PS3 original.

Here’s a guide to importing your content:

PS4 Table Import Walkthrough

Press the square button (Import Tables) on the collection screen to start the import process.

Please wait while the game is searching for tables available for import.

If there are tables available to import, the store will offer the next batch of content it has found. Press the x button (Enter) on each offered content’s download icon to add them to downloads, then press the circle button (Back) to return to the collection screen, and if there are still tables to import, the store will offer them in the next batch. Repeat this process until all content is added to the download queue.

Alternatively, if you want to import just a specific table, you can go to the table’s menu, wait a few seconds while the game checks for availability and press the “Download and play!” button when it appears. As the store comes up, press the x button (Enter) on each offered content’s download icon to add them to downloads, and press the circle button (Back) to return to the game.

Wait until all downloads finish (you can check their progress in the PS4 user interface under Notifications/Downloads), and there you go! You can play your imported tables straight away.

The full list of tables is below. Additionally, Sorcerer’s Lair will be available for free for all players.

Zen Studios noted that the PS4 version of Zen Pinball 2 runs in 1080p at 60FPS, and has “the most responsive flippers that we have ever been able to produce”.

Sony is already aware of the problem and working on a solution; a thread on the PlayStation forum is the best way to get updates on an expected resolution.

That means portable players will be able to challenge PlayStation 3 rivals and vice versa; you can take your story progress with you when you switch systems; and any costumes you’ve purchased or otherwise obtained for your bouncing brawlers will be available in both versions. Dead or Alive 5 Plus is expected on March 19 in the US and March 22 in Europe. More details can be found through the US and EU PS Blogs.

“PS Vita-PS3 Cross Buy price promo is coming to both Europe and North America,” the SCE Worldwide Studios Boss said on Twitter.

“My quote by Famitsu was meant as ‘not decided for Japan yet.'”

The quote in question, translated from Japanese and reported by several outlets including VG247, had Yoshida saying the promotion was only confirmed for Europe; the error likely came about due to the context of the interview taking place at gamescom.

Well, good news for those of us in the west, then; here’s hoping Japanese fans catch a break too.

Speaking to Famitsu, via Andriasang, Yoshida couldn’t commit to the scheme’s release in Japan, the US, or beyond, stating only that it’s only been announced for Europe – for now.

Elsewhere in the interview, Yoshida wasa sked how the Vita is doing in Europe, and seemed optimistic but realistic, noting that the hardware is popular but users want more games and better system functions. He said hardware bundles are part of the company’s future strategies.

The executive proved cagey on the topic of Japanese releases for new games revealed at gamescom, confirming only the Studio Japan-developed Rain and Puppeteer for local release.

The PS Blog has a few caveats, noting that it will take the developers some time to ensure every costume is fully compatible with the racer, and also that the Assassin’s Creed and April Fools Fragrance costumes won’t be making the jump – probably due to licensing issues, I’d imagine.

Additionally, any compatible costumes purchased from hereon in will be automatically available across three titles in the series – LittleBigPlanet 2, LittleBigPlanet Vita and LittleBigPlanet Karting. The original LittleBigPlanet and the PSP version are not so blessed, alas.

Double Eleven’s LittleBigPlanet Vita releases in September, while LittleBigPlanet Karting – a joint effort by Media Molecule and United Front Games – is due in November.

A EA representative told IGN that the publisher is interested in Sony’s Cross Buy scheme, which gives a free copy of a Vita game to those who buy the PlayStation 3 version.

“We’re taking it under consideration, but we have no specific plans to announce at this time,” the spokesperson said, specifically with regards to Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

The anticipated racer is due on PC, PlayStation 3, Vita and Xbox 360 on October 20 in the US and November 2 in Europe, with a mobile tie in expected on Android and for iOS.

DmC, Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank: Q Force will also support Cross Buy, which Sony detailed during its gamescom 2012 presentation .
